How the number is built
Elo inputs in rating points (higher favors that team; 25–28 Elo is about a point of spread in football and basketball), then how the pieces combine.
| Factor | MIA | NYM | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team rating | 1449 | 1505 | Elo entering the game; 1500 is league average |
| Home field | — | +18 | Worth 18 Elo in MLB |
| Starting pitchers | +2 | −22 | MIA: Max Meyer: team allows 0.08 fewer runs than with its usual starter (≈5 weighted starts) · NYM: Luis Severino: team allows 1.08 more runs than with its usual starter (≈10 weighted starts) |
| Elo ratings | NYM +51 Elo | NYM 57.2% | |
| Market-implied ratings | NYM 64.9% | Team strength as past closing lines priced it, same game context | |
| Pre-line forecast | NYM 63.8% | 15% Elo, 85% market-implied (log-odds blend) | |
| Forecast | NYM 63.0% | Follows the market (vig removed): in testing, adding the ratings made it less accurate | |
